    Smearcase, is that a special blade for a reciprocating saw or is the whole tool the grout grabber?

    This site refers to it as a blade for reciprocating saw. It would take some care to avoid chipping/scarring edges.

    Great if you have a recip. If you don't but you do own a Dremel try this Dremel Grout Removal Attachment Kit and Grout Removal Replacement Bits $22.00 Both look like they'd do a good job.

    I don't know which would be worse, trying to get down with the Dremel or trying to crouch and keep the recip. Saw on line.
    That Amazon link has a lot of comments from people who have used the Grout Grabber.
    Mixed reviews.

    The more I think of it , I hate removing grout no matter what tool. The only one I did lately was my own bath and that was a really tight line that you could pretty much shatter with a sharp utility knife. I guess I just like new tools and ideas, not necessarily buying and using them.
